SUBJECT: Groundwater Sampling Results
UIC Permit No. W10700473
Issued to Michael Colson and Gail Dickinson
Camden, Camden County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Colson and Ms. Dickinson:
Staff from the Washington Regional Office of the Water Quality Regional Operations
Section collected samples of the influent (supply well) and effluent (injection well) from your
geothermal heat pump system on August 28, 2023. The samples were analyzed for metals,
nutrients, and other inorganic constituents by the Division of Water Resources laboratory. A
summary table of the analytical results, as well as the laboratory reports, field sampling forms, and
definitions of laboratory data qualifiers are attached to this letter. The following constituents were
detected above state groundwater standards in both samples from your system:

These exceedances should not affect the use of the wells for your geothermal heat pump
system; however, it is recommended before using the water from these wells for personal
consumption that you consult with Albemarle Regional Health Services (local health agency).
